Hi everyone,
I'm selling a full year's worth of MICRO: The 6502 Journal from 1980 (Issues #20 through #31, January to December). This is the magazine's first complete annual run, full of great content on 6502 programming, hardware projects, and reviews for systems like the Apple II, Commodore PET, Atari, KIM-1, and more. It's a nice piece of retro computing history for any enthusiast.
Condition: Very Good overall—light wear from age, some yellowing, but all pages intact, no writing or major damage. Bindings are solid.

Someone may want the paper magazines, and we do of course like to see the 6502 material reach the hands of people who would value it, like advertising an uncommon, old car that enthusiasts might want to restore rather than giving up and letting it go to the crusher.  Note however that scans of the magazines are available on this site, at http://6502.org/documents/publications/micro/ .

Thanks so much for your message. I get a good number of late 70s and early 80s computing magazines and hardware, too. I would love to share more of the things that come my way. Good to be in touch Garth! Thanks again.

Sometime in the late 90's I was moving yet again with many kids in tow, and got so overwhelmed with stuff that I ordered a dumpster and got rid of pretty much everything non-essential, including every issue of Byte magazine from 1979 to early 90's and a lot of Compute, Dr. Dobbs and various Amiga and Atari mags. I hope someone found them. Regretted it many times as I used to read them for inspiration and forgotten ideas... But they are pretty much all there in digital form. Not quite the same, but given my hoarding tendencies, maybe better, for those rare occasions.

And sometimes I get the urge to restock from EBay, but check myself.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, enso1. It's these typical situations, like the one you mentioned, that are very difficult to get right with so many moving parts, so to speak.

I will soon put up for sale on eBay the complete "Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia" for the year 1980. I will keep everyone posted.
